| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to explore the spatial design principles for educational environments based on Industry 4.0 educational concepts , within the context of embodied cognition. The goal is to contribute to the development of educational environments that are both innovative and supportive of new educational concepts such as Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration?collectively known as the 4Cs. Through rigorous analysis of case studies involving elementary school facilities designed with these futuristic educational concepts in mind, this study pinpoints distinct spatial characteristics that foster such an advanced educational paradigm. Specifically, the research identifies that communal educational spaces should be (1) open and spacious to encourage collaborative learning, (2) diverse to cater to various learning styles and activities, (3) flexible to adapt to changing educational needs, and (4) sensory-enriched to support embodied learning experiences. The research proposes a comprehensive theoretical framework that incorporates these characteristics, offering concrete design directions for communal educational spaces that align with the educational imperatives of Industry 4.0. The findings highlight the necessity of a holistic educational environment where the design of communal educational spaces is pivotal to nurturing the 4Cs, signifying a paradigm shift towards an interactive and integrated learning ecosystem viewed through the lens of neuroarchitecture. |
